From Drone Swarms to Tree Batteries, New Tech Is Revolutionizing Ecology and Conservation
“Understanding Earth’s species and ecosystems is a monumentally challenging scientific pursuit. But with the planet in the grip of its sixth mass extinction event, it has never been a more pressing priority.
To unlock nature’s secrets, ecologists turn to a variety of scientific instruments and tools. Sometimes we even repurpose household items, with eyebrow-raising results—whether it’s using a tea strainer to house ants, or tackling botfly larvae with a well-aimed dab of nail polish.
But there are many more high-tech options becoming available for studying the natural world. In fact, ecology is on the cusp of a revolution, with new and emerging technologies opening up new possibilities for insights into nature and applications for conserving biodiversity…”
